  • What is the difference between a best friend and a significant other?

    To clarify, I'm not asking because I think someone likes me or that I like someone or that I'm confused.

    Here's my situation:

    I have been with my girlfriend for 10 months now. Our summer was very stressful for her because she was worried she wouldn't find a job before we moved and that she wouldn't be able to afford anything or be able to do anything for the rest of her life, then when she did get a job, there was a bunch more stress because it was a really crappy summer job. THEN, she left that job and become even more stressed about the same reasons above, but even more so. She finally landed a job that is good and good for her.

    I'd say all this stress started up about the time we were getting out of the honey-moon phase of our relationship, so we didn't really have a chance to bond as simply best friends.

    SO, we want to try and work on being better friends than we were when we met. The problem is, neither of us are very sure how to do that while being able to detach that we've known each other really well for the past 9 months or so.

    What are ways to function as friends even though we've been in a relationship for many months?

    Thanks all for your responses. I know it's a tough question.

  • I'm purchasing an ethernet cord that is 250 ft long. How do you think it will be shipped to me?

    Here is a link to the cord I'm looking to buy:

    https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=1...

    Will it come with all the wires poking out like it shows in the picture? Or do you think it will come with RJ45 connectors on the ends of the cord?

    I'd like to know, so I can buy my own if need be and connect them myself. This is my first bulk buy of an ethernet cord, and I'm just not sure if I need to by the connectors myself.

  • What is a good choice for an MP3 player that has 32 GB?

    I have been browsing on Amazon to find an MP3 player to replace my Zune HD, which finally broke a couple weeks ago, and have been very dissatisfied with what I've been finding.

    What I'm looking for is a *music player*, not a device that "can also play music". I want a piece of hardware that was made specifically for playing music, and I'd prefer if that's all it was made to do.

    Please give me some suggestions - price will be meaningless right now, I just want to get my eyes opened to more options.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback!

  • MAJOR Windows 10 problem with latest update. Anyone, please help?

    Last night, I installed the latest update through windows update on Windows 10. I restarted my computer, and then went to bed. When I wake up, I turn on my comp, log in, and then it does a couple things to set it up. First off, I get this message saying that my user directory is not available because I don't have the privileges to see it (I'm the only user on this computer). Second, I click on the home button and the home menu doesn't pop up. I try this when using the mouse and the keyboard, neither seem to work. Then, I search an app in the search box and I try to open it and I'm told this: "Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine."

    I AM the administrator of this machine, or at least I should be...

    Does anyone (*cough cough Microsoft cough*) know how to fix this?? I believe the latest update is at fault for this.

    And no, I am not a developer or anything, so I'm not getting the preview builds that the beta testers would be getting.

  • Windows 8.1 built in camera randomly stops working. Listed as a "hidden device" in my device manager. Any ideas how to get it stop?

    So, I use Skype a lot with my friends and at random intervals, it tells me that I do not have a camera, even though it is literally built in into my computer. I open the camera app and it too tells me I am lacking a camera. I checked my device manager and there is no "imaging software" until i click the "view" button and check the "show hidden devices" option. Then it appears in and the properties options tells me that it is fully functional, up-to-date, and has no problems whatsoever. In the past, I would uninstall the camera, and that would fix the problem for a little bit.

    I really don't understand what this problem is and I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone know how to get the camera to stop being a "hidden device" and to get it to just work every time I boot it up?

  • What are some examples of modern day cutting edge technologies?

    For class, I have to write a two page paper on cutting edge technologies (technology that's only been conceived within the last year). I've been searching for examples, but have found nothing so far that has substantial information. Does anyone know of anything very modern that may not even be available for the public, at least just a conceived idea. If you think of anything, please try to give me a link describing said technology.

    Thanks to anyone who helps!

    P.S. I actually have to write two papers on two different technologies.

  • Anyone know how to make this C++ Program (involves 2-D arrays and arranging numbers)?

    So the program is is that I have some random array that's a 4 by 5 filled with just numbers, like so:

    {16,22,99,4,18,

    258,4,101,5,98,

    105,6,15,2,45,

    33,88,72,16,3}

    and I have to create a program that takes those 20 numbers and sorts them in increasing order in a 1-D array called 'sort'.

    So far, this is what I have:

    void main()

    {

    system("cls");

    const int i = 4;

    const int j = 5;

    int R, C, S, max;

    R = 0;

    C = 0;

    S = 0;

    const int k = 20;

    int sort[k];

    int DD [i][j] = {16,22,99,4,18,

    ----------------258,4,101,5,98,

    ----------------105,6,15,2,45,

    ----------------33,88,72,16,3};

    -------for (C = 0; C < j; C++)

    -------{

    -------------for (R = 0; R < i; R++)

    -------------{

    -------------}

    -------}

    }

    So basically, I have nothing right now because I can't logically think this whole process through and I just need a fresh set of eyes to tell me a way to go about doing this. If someone told me how to program it, I could do it, but I can't think of the way to do this program on my own. I'm just stumped on how to do this. (and ignore all the hyphens, just using them to make the program easier to read)

    So if anyone could give me some advice on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

  • I have 2 specific heat chemistry questions and need some help?

    1.) 40.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH solution whose initial temperature is 25.4 Celsius is mixed with 60.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl solution in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the mixture was found to be 30.8 Celsius. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 21.0 J/Celsius and if the density of the salt solution is 1.00 g/mL, what is the enthalpy change in kilojoules per mole for this reaction? The specific heat of salt solution is 4.01 J/g*Celsius.

    2.) 40.0 grams of water at 64.2 Celsius is added to 60.0 grams of water at 25.0 Celsius in a calorimeter. The final temperature of this solution was found to be 39.6 Celsius. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?

    Any help is appreciated on this.

  • How do I make a quadratic function program on my ti 84 calculator?

    I want a program that will run just like this:

    Having a trinomial such as ax^2+bx+c

    Program asks for "a".

    User inputs "a".

    Program asks for "b".

    User inputs "b".

    Program asks for "c".

    User inputs "c".

    Program calculates the roots using the quadratic equation:

    variable1 = (-b + sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

    varible2 = (-b - sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

    Program displays variable1 and variable2.

    This is what i have so far:

    PROGRAM:QUAD

    :ClrHome

    :Input "A VALUE?",A

    :Input "B VALUE?",B

    :Input "C VALUE?",C

    :Q=((-1*B)+(sqrt((B*B)-(4*A*C))))/(2A)

    :O=((-1*B)-(sqrt((B*B)-(4*A*C))))/(2A)

    :Disp "ROOTS ARE "

    :Disp Q

    :Disp " AND "

    :Disp O

    :Pause

    The program isn't working because my calculator has Q and O stored as zero so whenever i run it, i always get the output to say:

    ROOTS ARE

    0

    AND

    0

    How do i create a "fresh" variable for my program? (meaning one that isn't already defined)

    Otherwise, the program works flawlessly. I get no errors unless I put in number that give an imaginary number.

    If you're trying to figure this one out, here's a trinomial that does have real roots:

    x^2 - 2x - 3

    Roots should be, -1 and +3.

    Thank you so much for helping me out.

    And on a side note, I need this for my chem class because we have trinomials that are like this:

    5.56*10^(-11) - 5.56*10^(-10)x - x^2

    and i can't just graph it and find the y-intercept because the value of x is so small it doesn't detect a change in sign.

  • How do I install Microsoft Windows Visual Basic 2010 Express?

  • I copied all of my Steam Games onto my hard drive, currently re-installing them, can I recover my saved data?

    I have an external hard drive and I've decided to use it to play all my Steam/Origin games. To do this however, I copied all of my game files onto the external hard drive and deleted them off my laptop. I then created a new Steam library. I've been able to get a few games working on it, however, I'm starting from scratch and I was wondering if I'd be able to copy my old game files over and continue from where I left off. I know some games save files in different ways. Borderlands 2 for example, I don't really want to start from scratch with it (if I must, then I must). Any suggestions as to how I could do this?

    Also, I've been having trouble with some games that I've put on my external hard drive. I would download them off Steam and everything and then I would play, no problem at all, but then when I unplug my external hard drive and plug it back into my laptop, the game is unable to start and Steam tells me that I must install it again. I would even search through the folders to find the execution file in my Steam library on my external hard drive, but it still won't work. Any suggestions for that as well?

  • My laptop's brightness won't go down no matter what I try. Any suggestions?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15 with Windows 8 and I've gotten the latest update for it.

    Just a few days ago, I noticed the screen brightness was all the way up when my laptop wasn't plugged into the wall (I keep at lowest when it isn't charging). I used the shortcut on my key board to lower it, only the brightness bar would not change and neither would the screen's brightness. I then used my mouse to lower it, I was able to lower the bar on the brightness bar, but still no change in my monitor's brightness. I then went to control panel and tried changing it from there, still wouldn't work. My screen is at the highest brightness when it's plugged in too and I can't change it when it's plugged in either. This could prove to be a problem when I'm not around an electrical outlet.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is or how I could fix it?
